The influence of ionic strength on the complexes formed by natural bovine serum albumin (BSA), pH 5.4 (near the isoelectric point), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous buffered (sodium acetate) solution was investigated by using surface tension, fluorescence and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. Ionic strength was varied by changing sodium acetate buffer concentration from 0.020 to 0.5 M. Surface tension revealed that SDS:BSA saturation binding occurs at psp = 42 +/- 2 mM, independent of the solution ionic strength. Further, SAXS curves are consistent with the necklace and bead model, where micelle-like aggregates are randomly distributed along the partial unfolded protein. Micelle-like aggregates grow from small spheres at 10 mM SDS to small ellipsoids (upsilon = 1.3 , ratio between the largest and the shortest axes) near psp, in good agreement with micellar aggregation numbers obtained by fluorescence, independent of salt concentration. Protein-bound micelles stop growing above psp and further SDS addition induces free-micelle formation. 相似文献

Classical parameters obtained from surface tension technique coupled to small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements gave support to investigate conformational changes in the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) complexes, as well as the size of the micelle-like clusters distributed along the polypeptide chain. The studied systems were composed of 1 wt% of BSA in the absence and presence of increasing SDS molar concentration up to 80 mM, under experimental conditions of low ionic strength and pH 5.40. At SDS concentrations below the critical aggregation concentration (cac) of 2.2 mM, SAXS results indicate that the detergent does not modify the native protein conformation. However, the beginning of protein unfolding, evidenced by SAXS through an increase in the values of radius of gyration Rg and protein maximum dimension Dmax, is coincident with the onset of SDS cooperative binding to BSA identified by the first breakpoint in the surface tension-SDS profile. Further SDS addition leads to the formation of micelle-like aggregates randomly distributed along the unfolded polypeptide chain, consistent to a necklace and bead model. The SAXS data also demonstrate that the SDS micelles grow in size up to 50 mM detergent. At 50 mM surfactant, the micelles stop growing. This concentration is near the BSA saturation binding by SDS measured by dialyzes and indicated by the second breakpoint in surface tension-SDS profile. The SAXS and surface tension data are also consistent with the formation of free micelles in equilibrium with BSA-SDS complexes for surfactant amount above the saturation. 相似文献

The acetogenins are strongly bioactive natural compounds present in the bark, roots, leaves, and seeds of manyAnnonaceae plants. They are modified fatty acids and their cytotoxicities have been determined for different biological models including
the in vitro growth inhibition of several human cancer cell lines.
Very low acetogenin yield (< 0.1 g%) has been found previously in native phytobiomass, and we have now investigated the nonpredatory
exploitation of the seeds as acetogenin sources characterizing the seed triacylglycerols (dominant fraction; > 90% of the
whole lipid extracts) as potential valuable by-products. 相似文献

We analyze the interplay of synchronization and structure
evolution in an evolving network of phase oscillators. An initially
random network is adaptively rewired according to the dynamical
coherence of the oscillators, in order to enhance their mutual
synchronization. We show that the evolving network reaches a
small-world structure. Its clustering coefficient attains a maximum
for an intermediate intensity of the coupling between oscillators,
where a rich diversity of synchronized oscillator groups is
observed. In the stationary state, these synchronized groups are
directly associated with network clusters. 相似文献

We analyze the phenomenon of stochastic resonance in an Ising-like system on a small-world network. The system, which is subject
to the combined action of noise and an external modulation, can be interpreted as a stylized model of opinion formation by
imitation under the effects of a “fashion wave”. Both the amplitude threshold for the detection of the external modulation
and the width of the stochastic-resonance peak show considerable variation as the randomness of the underlying small-world
network is changed.

A general quantitative treatment for salt effects by means of an empirical relationship between the observed rates k and the concentrations of added electrolyte is presented. The proposed equation has been successfully tested for a variety of processes in the literature. 相似文献

Sphere-to-rod transitions of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) micelles with dichlorobenzoate counterions are remarkably substituent dependent. Simultaneous estimates of the interfacial molarities of H2O, MeOH, and Cl- and 2,6- and 3,5-dichlorobenzoate (2,6OBz and 3,5OBz) counterions were obtained by the chemical trapping method in mixed micelles of CTACl/CTA3,5OBz and CTACl/CTA2,6OBz without added salt. Increasing the CTA3,5OBz mole fraction produces a marked concurrent increase in interfacial 3,5OBz- and a decrease in interfacial H2O concentrations through the sphere-to-rod transition. No abrupt concentration changes are observed with increasing CTA2,6OBz mole fraction. Counterion-specific changes in the interfacial water concentration may be a major contributor to the delicate balance of forces governing micellar morphology. 相似文献

We analyze the critical transitions (a) to endemic states in an SIS epidemiological model, and (b) to full synchronization in an ensemble of coupled chaotic maps, on networks where, at any given time, each node is connected to just one neighbour. In these “monogamous” populations, the lack of connectivity in the instantaneous interaction pattern—that would prevent both the propagation of an infection and the collective entrainment into synchronization—is compensated by occasional random reconnections which recombine interacting couples by exchanging their partners. The transitions to endemic states and to synchronization are recovered if the recombination rate is sufficiently large, thus giving rise to a bifurcation as this rate varies. We study this new critical phenomenon both analytically and numerically. 相似文献

X‐ray phase‐contrast imaging is an effective approach to drastically increase the contrast and sensitivity of microtomographic techniques. Numerous approaches to depict the real part of the complex‐valued refractive index of a specimen are nowadays available. A comparative study using experimental data from grating‐based interferometry and propagation‐based phase contrast combined with single‐distance phase retrieval applied to a non‐homogeneous sample is presented (acquired at beamline ID19‐ESRF). It is shown that grating‐based interferometry can handle density gradients in a superior manner. The study underlines the complementarity of the two techniques for practical applications. 相似文献

A system of globally coupled maps whose synchronized dynamics differs from the individual (chaotic) evolution is considered.
For nonchaotic synchronized dynamics, the synchronized state becomes stable at a critical coupling intensity lower than that
of the fully chaotic case. Below such critical point, synchronization is also stable in a set of finite intervals. Moreover,
the system is shown to exhibit multistability, so that even when the synchronized state is stable not all the initial conditions
lead to synchronization of the ensemble.
